The Gold-to-Silver Ratio Hit 62:1... So I Bought Silver

Ajouté : 2026-06-07

[00:00:00]I just picked up this 1oz silver maple for $73.50.

[00:00:05]Let's talk about it. Welcome to Fresh Roots92 Gold, gold stacking collectible gold bars and a little bit of silver.

[00:00:12]Now that we're paying attention to this gold to silver ratio, guys, you already know I said it in the video yesterday when the ratio was 62:1. I'm sorry, it was 61 to1. Today it is even bigger. It is 62:1. I woke up and silver was down even more. I hit 68 bucks by the time I was able to call my dealer and start talking price. Got locked in for this silver maple leaf at $73.50, which is an absolute steal, especially here in California where the tax is essentially five bucks. I I got this at spot if you ask me. I mean, if you take into consideration the sales tax, and I asked my dealer how he was able to do it, and he said he just got in a huge tube, got in two tubes actually of silver maples just before I got in, and he kind of already had a a seller in there that was selling these, and he was paying two bucks back. So, he made a little bit of money on me on this. It's not a lot, and, you know, he knows I'm in there quite often buying gold and and we know each other. I was able to sell some silver to him not too long ago. And so, I told him I'll be back when that silver drops. And and indeed I was back, guys. And keep in mind, I just sold some silver not too long ago at $79 an ounce and I picked this up for $7350. That's how you do it. That's how you play that gold to silver ratio. That's how you buy the dips. That's how you That's how you have a little bit of fun with silver.

[00:01:27]Now, I don't recommend to buy the dips and and keep an eye on the constant price. With gold, I recommend to dollar cost average with gold. But with silver, I'm treating it a little bit different.

[00:01:35]I'm treating it as a short-term savings account. I'm keeping an eye on that ratio. I'm having a little bit of fun with it and using it as a vehicle to get into gold for less. Now, what do I mean by that? You'll have to check out the video of when I traded some silver for my 110 eagle. I bought some silver last year and was able to trade that silver plus 15 bucks for a 110 gold American Eagle and I'm in that gold American Eagle 195 bucks. So, that's how you can kind of do it. I mean, think about it.

[00:02:00]If the ratio today is at 62:1 and when I made my trade it was at 53 to1. If it happens again, which I'm not promising that it's going to happen again. Nobody knows if it's going to happen again.

[00:02:09]Nobody can see the future, but I am predicting that it's going to happen again. So, be sure to do your own research. I'm not a tax guy. I'm not a financial advisor or an analyst or anything like that. So, do your own research before you make any sort of investment decisions. Seek the advice of a financial adviser before doing anything like that. Guys, be sure to educate yourself. You know, the theme on the channel here is educate yourself, read, learn about things because if you don't, you're only going to ever know what others are willing to tell you. So, that's something I like to say here on the channel, but that's what I think is going to happen. And if you think about it, I'm doing it on a very micro scale, right? With 1 oz just to to show you guys how it all works. But think about it. If I was able to purchase 61 ounces and it compresses down to the 53, I essentially get those 8 ounces for free.

[00:02:49]Or I could sell them at that point in time and apply it towards that gold purchase. So that's how you can get the gold for a less dollar amount as opposed to just saving up for that gold right out of the gate. And and some of you ask, why don't you just save for the gold? You know, again, I just kind of sort of explained how you can get it for a little bit cheaper. And if you're like me and a lot of the subscribers, we're not good at saving our cash. It's that simple. So, it's kind of a short-term savings account with a slight potential upside. I don't see silver as an investment. I really don't. I see it as a vehicle to get into gold for less. I see it as a short-term savings account.

[00:03:18]That's how I see silver. Check these out, guys. Some silver grain I bought last year when I was pouring some silver bars. I was learning how to pour some silver bars. Having some fun with that.

[00:03:27]Got these ones right here. I have a video of it of pouring these two silver bars. was kind of when I started to go down the journey of silver and for gold and kind of starting really to to learn about stacking and these these uh strategies and the gold to silver ratio and all that and I have you guys to thank for it. Look at this beauty, huh?

[00:03:42]Absolute beautiful finish on this coin, guys. 2024 Isle Man Angel Silver 1. This thing is stunning, guys. Check out a couple of these pieces. I brought these out, too, to kind of talk about it. And this is some 90%, too. I know a lot of you guys are liking the 90% right now. I don't really like 90%. I got this um in like a box, like a random uh gold silver box thing. So, I didn't really go and seek it out, but I absolutely do love it, but I'm against the 90% for stacking and for trading. I really am. And I'm also against these random weirdized bars. And the reason is is when I went to go make my trade, silver was at 86 bucks and I got paid 79, $7 back of spot. And I would have got like $2 back if I had the maples, guys. So, that's why I think these maples, the Eagles are really important. And I also brought this piece out to kind of say why I don't have any eagles. Cuz the eagles kind of sort of have this finish on them, right? They kind of have that matte finish. And me personally for silver, I like the shiny. I like the shiny stuff. Guys, let me know down in the comments below. I know some of you have said you like the Bratannas, the Cuca Bros. I absolutely love the Brits also. I really do. Um, and I also really love the Cookab. So hopefully I could add some of those to the stack soon. But my absolute favorite is the silver Canadian Maple Leaves. And if you've watched my channel, you know that I had a 100 oz silver bar at one point, but it's gone and I regret it every day. But that that 100 actually even had kind of a matte finish. And I noticed the 10 oz bars, at least from what I remember on my Royal Canadians, they were kind of more shiny and I really liked them. So that was cool. Another thing that my my dealer said today, I said, "Hey man, see if you could find me one after 2018."

[00:05:10]That's when they introduced that mint shield technology. He said, "You mean milk shield technology?" I thought that that was funny cuz he said they still kind of spot up. Which is right. I've seen some that are that that still end up spotting. And that is just something with silver. That's why I like to pop them immediately into these capsules.

[00:05:24]And I like I like these capsules a lot.

[00:05:26]Guys, let me know what you do with your silver. Do you capsule it up? What are you doing with your silver? What are you doing with your gold? I like to to capsule up my silver and my gold. I don't want any sort of milk spots on my silver, at least when it's in my possession. But hopefully it's not in my possession for too long. Maybe 2 years or less is how how long I plan to keep silver. Unless that that ratio really decompresses or or compresses and gets down real low below 50, I would I immediately would sell or trade the silver. But I don't think it's going to happen. So, right now, I'm just kind of sort of having fun with silver, buying the dips on the price and uh stacking it away, trying to build a proper silver position so when it's time I can make a proper trade for gold. Who knows? Maybe I keep doing this, buying these dips every month or every couple months and then I end up having enough silver to make a full trade for like a quarter ounce or something or a 110 ounce is really what I'm after. or so. So, I'll probably end up not being patient enough, I got to be honest with you, to to hold out for the quarter ounce. But, I'll probably end up saving up seven or eight of these and then being able to trade for a 110 ounce when the ratio makes sense. And again, if you've been following the channel, you know, for me, if it's in the low 50s, it makes sense.

[00:06:26]And it's and I'm I'm buying silver, it's if it's above 60, and right now it's at 62 to1. Guys, let me know. What do you think is happening with the price of gold? What do you think is happening right now with the price of silver? I mean, we're talking 18 bucks down since the day that I made that trade, which was just a few weeks ago. It's absolutely insane to think about how much the price of silver has dropped.

[00:06:47]And I know a lot of people in the comments are going to say, "Well, the price of gold has also dropped a lot."

[00:06:51]And you're right. I get it. I understand that, but it it hasn't dropped as much in percentage- wise as silver. Silver is super volatile. And I mean, it's just not something that I want to store long term. And I know a lot of people are against that. There's a lot of people that do see silver as a long-term investment. I want to talk to you guys.

[00:07:07]I want to hear from you down in the comments. Why is that? Why do you think that is? Why do you think silver has the potential to go up to $200 or $300 an ounce? And I'm not saying that it won't.

[00:07:16]I'm really not. I do think it has the potential to go up to the two or the $300 an ounce. But I think gold will outpace it. So I think if silver goes up to the $200 an ounce, I think that gold will have to be above 10,000 just to keep that ratio at 50 to1. That's just my thoughts. I really don't know. Back in ancient Egypt, the ratio was like 5 to1 cuz silver was super rare. So, who knows what's going to happen with the technology era, the AI era, the solar panels, all that. All the easy selling points for silver that are there end up getting people to buy silver. I was reading an article about why people think that China bought a whole bunch of silver recently and they think it's because of the AI and the tech and all the reliance that they have on silver for their production, but nobody knows.

[00:07:54]Nobody really knows. I know that the price of gold and the price of silver are set in Shanghai and London and New York. So, there were also some kind of rumors when I was going down the rabbit hole. Again, this is all speculation. Do your own research. Do your own due diligence. Again, I'm going to say it again. If you don't do your research, you don't read, you don't educate yourself, you're only going to ever know what others are willing to tell you, but I was reading that they're maybe doing it to have a proper position in silver so they can play around with that market price. I don't know. I don't know how true that is, but I wouldn't put it past them to be honest with you. Right. So, there's some some things that are going on right now in the metals market that don't seem to quite make sense, and I'm curious to know what you guys think.

[00:08:28]Again, all of our minds are better than anyone. I'm curious to know what you guys think is happening right now in the metals market. Why did we tank so much?

[00:08:35]Look at this thing, a Samoan pretzel. I have a pair of these Simone pretzels.

[00:08:38]And yeah, that's what I was saying about these earlier is is is my buyer would have given me, you know, two bucks back on spot if I didn't have these random weight bars that I traded him for the 110 eagle. So, that's why I would avoid these random weird size coins and bars and weird shaped coins and things like that. I would stick to the 1oz silver rounds and silver coins like the maples and eagles. And even if you're going to do the rounds, I would stick to like some pretty easy generic stuff that's recognizable like the Buffaloos and things like that. I know my dealer is paying like three bucks back on on the Buffalo. So, he's only just like paying a dollar back more on the Buffaloos. I asked him today and and then he's selling them for a dollar less, right, than the Maples. And same with the Eagles. They're just a dollar more than the Maples. And he's paying a dollar more. So, he's paying a dollar back for the Maples when buying them or for the silver eagles when buying them, right?

[00:09:24]So, that's kind of the spread. It's It didn't change since the last time I was in there, which, you know, and it goes to show I called another shop and they were about $4 more on the silver and it's because they're probably just sitting on some. They didn't just buy some today. So, that's kind of how these shops have to survive and I totally understand it. The other shop was $77.50 and I spent $7350, right? So, the spread was a little different. I asked what the spread was and it was an $11 spread.

[00:09:47]They're both paying $2 back, but he must not have bought any today. So, he can't really make any sort of deals or else he's going to lose money. So, I think it's almost like a catch22 with the some of these shops. They don't understand or I don't know if they don't understand.

[00:09:59]I'm sure they do understand, but if they have like a a tighter spread, they'll probably do more volume and be able to do more business. And that kind of ends up helping them out in the long run.

[00:10:07]Like this guy is able to kind of do more business, have more volume. He's able to turn out a little bit quicker. So, he's making a little bit of money on the spread, not just buying, holding, and selling. So, it's kind of an interesting thing. thing. I wouldn't want to be a coin shop or a buyer right now unless I was doing major volume in buying and selling. I just wouldn't. You're just going to get stuck maybe potentially with something that you spent 80 bucks on or like with my dealer, you spent 79 bucks on some silver and today it's 68 for some some actual sovereign silver 1oz coin. So, he's like, you know, at at a loss essentially for that silver that he got from me a few weeks ago. And I'm sure he moved it and sold it or whatever he did whatever he had to do with it, but I'm just saying it's not something that I would want to be in a position for. So, I understand the spreads coming from these shops. I really do. It's not something that I would want to be doing or trying to manage right now. So, I got a lot of love for them. At the end of the day, if they're not around, then who are we going to sell our silver and gold to, right? It just doesn't make sense to try to put them out of business or or try to shame them for having their spreads. I'm not going to call anybody out or anything on that. I just made some calls uh saw what the spreads were at another shop just to kind of make sure and double check on things. And obviously, my dealer was was much more uh affordable because I think he's doing more business. I think he's having more volume coming in and out. So, anyways guys, as promised, I picked up another ounce of silver. I'm really stoked on it. I absolutely love it. We were able to grab me, I believe it was this one.

[00:11:22]Yep, it was this one. It was a 2021. If you don't know, after 2018, they introduced the mint shield technology, which tries to reduce the milk spot on the silver maple. So, if you're ever getting a silver maple and the dealer lets you pick one out, be sure to snag one up without any milk spots. That's after 2018. You'll get a nice clean one like this. I absolutely love it. I love these silver maples. I really do. These silver maples are absolutely stunning.

[00:11:43]This piece is a beauty, too. Love having this in the collection, guys. Couple cool silver pieces out right now. Let me know. Did you buy some silver today? Are you going to wait for silver to go even more down? Is it going to go down to 50, guys? What do you think? Let me know in the comments below. And if you like this video, be sure to smash that like button and subscribe if you're not already doing so. And remember guys, stacks don't grow overnight. They grow over time.
